@PatoSáinz You forgot the chewed up yellow pad you scribble clearances down on and the bag of foggles for when your CFI is feeling bored and wants to try to make you dizzy :-)

Ok, so there's my student with this big bag full of money and she's in our 727, that we keep on the ramp. It's not actually airworthy but she got the wrong set of keys and didn't notice.

@BretCopeland Possibly aviation-related government employees (FAA, etc.), aircraft manufacturer employees, and enthusiasts as well! Let's get more aviation experts than just pilots!

Q: Should I be allowed to ask an identify-this-airport question?

Steve V.On Arqade, where I hail from, identify-this-game questions have a special place in moderator's hearts. The same place that pilots have when they hear members of news media try to speak intelligently about aviation, or people talking really slow on 121.8. The question I asked just now, There's a...

as part of the pre-solo written at NFI they make you describe and sketch the airspace. For my description I think I wrote something like "fucked up" or "giant blue and magenta clusterfuck" -- my instructor gave me credit for it :)

...I live in glass airspace though so I don't get to through stones. The republic notch in the bravo, the bayport exclusion in Islip's charlie, the "aw, fuck - Brookhaven!" hole on the west side of the charlie... sometimes I think lower NY airspace was drawn on the back of an IHOP placemat with crayons

Actually that's not a fair statement: If the license plate says "Connecticut" it's a fair bet they're going to try their damndest to make die in a horrible flaming wreck on the expressway. Connecticut drivers are the new Jersey drivers :)
